Weekly Sketches - The Shadow
The Comic Smiths' Guild has decided to do weekly character sketches, similar to that of ComicTwart. Last week we chose The Shadow. Here's my submission!
Here's a link back to my deviantArt page as well: http://nomadikk.deviantart.com/
It took me the whole week to finally draw a decent illustration of The Shadow. I couldn't get it right until my lunch break today at work! I like how the final result came out.
I can't wait to see what the other members have done with The Shadow. This was my choice last week, he's one of my top super heroes. I'm very curious to see what next week's character will be too!

Thwomp Acrylic Painting complete
Here's a better scan of my finished Thwomp acrylic painting. 16"x20" acrylic on masonite.
It's available for sale, $200, if anyone is interested. Just email me, or leave a comment. I have a few more paintings in the works: A 1-Up mushroom, Dry bones (koopa turtle skeleton), and a goomba!

Thundarr, Pirates of Dark Water, more!
Looks like WB is going through their vault and releasing various "WB Archive" order-on-demand dvds from their wbshop site. Pirates of Dark Water came out a couple weeks ago, and Thundarr The Barbarian comes out Sept 28th. Others being released include Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space.
I'm pretty stoked, I already have Pirates of Dark Water and will be ordering Thundarr next month. A few sad things about these WB Archive releases: 1) They are DVDR, not pressed dics. Older dvd players have trouble with DVDR discs. 2nd, there are no extras, remastered material, commentary, etc. The dvds are barebones and the menu that pops up is a generic "WB Archives" menu that asks if you wish to watch all the episodes or episode selection.
While I would have gladly waited another year, and an extra $10 to cover the costs of making these dvd sets more glamorous, I'm still very happy that they are available finally. Also slightly sad to watch all of the Pirates of Dark Water, only to get to episode 22 and the abrupt ending due to the cancellation during it's original air date. I remember being upset as a kid because it was quite a bit better story than other shows at the time. Unlike other tv shows from my youth like Masters of the Universe and Thundercats, Pirates actually holds up really well when watching it as an adult.

Thwomp Acrylic Painting
Since people love my pixel paintings, I've started on Thwomp from Super Mario Bros. 3. First phase is drawing .5" squares, it sucks to keep straight. Then I pencil in the black pixels to use for reference:
Next on to the painting process. By the way, my Super Mario 3 painting is still for sale on ebay, only around 2 days left! http://item.ebay.com/190434587124

Post Con info, and Mario Painting for Sale!
First, I just want to say that the Super Mario painting is now for sale on Etsy: [link] I'm also accepting pixel painting commissions, just e-mail me for details:
Now onto the con info. I just want to say I had a whole lot of fun. I made way more this year at Spokane ComiCon than last year, mainly because the con has grown so much. It keeps getting better and better thanks to Nate OBrien!
I shared two tables with Peter Foglesong and Matt Nelson, two amazing artists! Big shout out! As usual, we were a great teamup. I was so busy doing sketches and making sales that I couldn't leave the booth very often to mingle. So anyone out there from the con whom I didn't get to chat with, drop me a line! I'd love to make some new con buddies. I had so many sketches going on that I had a waiting list of sketches, and if it became too much then I'd forward them to Peter or Matt, and vice-versa.
Here are some photos to share, some taken by me, my girlfriend, and the rest I stole from Nate's wife's facebook lol. She took great photos, I just had to share a few!
Matt at the table, in charge of the adult scissors
Me, looking thrilled as always
Matt is a master of the unusual facial expressions
Me, drawing away
Matt and I, we likes the draws...
I like how all of us are drawing, and at a tilt. If you notice, I'm tilting opposite, due to my sinister talents at drawing with the left hand.
Setting up the main lobby
Standing in line
More line action
A Nine creature and Poison Ivy
Wolverine, I didn't know your muscles were inflatable!
No-Face was by far my favorite costume! Way to go Rebecca! The mouth was usually closed, and it appeared as though it didn't have a mouth at all. She would offer "gold bars" (chocolate) like in the movie Spirited Away, and when you reached for the candy she would draw the mouth open. It was great!
In a galaxy not too far away...
Lars Brown, creator of North World, peddling his wares
Our tables! 16' of art awesomeness!
Annie Absalonson and Zephan Osiris, making awesome art!
Friends and foes of the force!
Darth and son
Trooper in training
You don't see this very often!
Baby Storm! So cute!
Umm.. Iron Ma'am, you have your head on upside down!
The crew that put the con together, great job guys!
